What's That In The Sky? Why, It's Another Aut0Surf!

Here's something I prepared earlier - check this one out if you're a fan of the ole' Surfs.

Yes, I’m jumping onto another autosurf.

Why another one? Well I’m continually looking for the ‘next big thing’ to satiate my gambling streak, and although this one really doesn’t strike me as the ‘next ginormously big thing’ it definitely has the potential to be a solid Big Thing. (TM.)

They’re off to a good start with the name - Aut0Surf.com. I was complaining that no surfs were adopting names that stood out anymore (FerrarySurf anyone - pah!) but then again I digress - 12DP, Compact, Wired, Phoenix, etc. all had fairly run of the mill names. And in a way, Aut0Surf is really clutching at the ‘minimalist’ naming straws - but it’s pretty hard to forget. It’s Autosurf. With a ZERO! So I give them marks for that.

But c’mon Chancer - a surf needs a few more marks than that for you to plonk some dosh (translation: put some money) into. Well, what caught my eye with Aut0Surf, much like Alientrust and co. back when they first started, is that it has taken a slightly different angle - and done it sucessfully, rather than looking like a poor hodge podge.

The site itself is pretty, though nothing genius. It has relatively custom wording on the front page (though we’ve seen it mostly before.) The grammar is not perfect, but not that poor either.

They’ve adopted the “two cashouts a month” rule which has been used by some of the most successful recent surfs (that is, adopting a cashout method that does not plague the system with instant cashouts every ten minutes and cripple it when it hits critical mass.) Case in point - CompactSurf, it’s solid three-month long run, and it’s three-cashouts a month rule!

The payout rate is 7% for 21 days (which makes 147% all up.) That’s pretty reasonable, and that slightly-lower rate could make it a much better bet in the long run and give it much more room to breathe and grow.

Referral commissions are 5%, which is nowhere near as exorbitant as many other recent surfs so theoretically won’t put too much of a dint into their longevity.

So bla bla bla, Chancer, the usual crud about autosurfs - what made you join this one?

Well, they’ve grabbed themselves some blanket advertising and are picking up a good rep., which is good.

Their admin is extremely responsive and pretty well written, another hallmark of a longer-lasting surf.

But that’s all the usual stuff - these guys have brought the ‘custom’ to the table that they need to thrive.

They are using grams of gold instead of USD as their currency, and have custom-edited scripts to reflect this.

Yummy!

Why? Well many surfs in the past, including some of the aforementioned “Big Guns” (Compact, etc.) shifted some of the blame onto the rapid fall in the price of gold that it experienced recently when it adjusted for the massive boom it had had over the prior months.

Now this may or may not be true, but surely it did have an effect.

What is more important is the PSYCHOLOGICAL effect this has left on people - they have an aftertaste in their mouths, and are worried about gold fluctuations. Many scammy sites are trying the idea of other, dodgy e-currencies, or their own in-house e-currency (which is one of the worst signs of all!)

Aut0Surf acknowledge - like most of the quicker of cats out there - that E-Gold is solid, solid, solid and an inhouse processor is a stupid idea.

Adopting the grams method avoids the fluctuations completely. This may bode well at the fluctuating of gold prices, but what it bodes much better for is the psychological aspect that many of the average punters who fuel these things would be worried about.

By attacking this angle, putting this spin on it, Aut0Surf could be setting itself up to nab a lot of punters. And why not - it’s always that angle, that little bit of freshness, no matter how much, that draws people in.

Alientrust pulled a similar trick with its unique design, and “Mission” oriented approach. Look how long it lasted - it’s only now truly gasping its last breaths.

Phoenix, Wired and Compact all had some unique spin.

Surfs always need something to stand out - Aut0Surf has that. It’s not something that makes me think “juggernaut!” but it is enough for me to think “hey, this might catch on and tip the scales in its favour.

Here’s hoping! Fingers crossed for Chancer and his latest bet.

“Welcome to Aut0Surf.Com. Thats right, another autosurf thats just launched, but this one has one BIG difference.

I have actually re-coded the whole script, and that is alot of lines of code, to make the script work on Grams of Gold, and not USD, carry on reading for further information.

We all know that the price of gold rises and falls and in todays world, one day Gold could be near $700 Per Oz and the next week its at $560 per oz. In the past, Surf Admins have suffered and some programs have had to close due to the sudden drop in funds in the AutoSurfs E-Gold Account. Imagine being an admin and waking to find that gold has crashed and you can no longer operate the surf.

Well, with Aut0Surf that will not happen. Each member can buy an ‘Ad Unit’ for 0.25 Grams (1/4 of a Gram), upto a maximum of 125 Grams (500 Ad units). From then on, for every day that member surfs 10 or more pages from the rotator they will recieve 7% of the total amount of Grams they have purchased. That right 7% of the Gram Value not the USD value. This continues for 21 Straight days, aslong as the member surfs 10 or more pages.

Everything in the script has be re-coded to Grams. Moving away from USD can only bring stability to the program. All sections have be re-coded ranging from the Surf Section, Paid to Click Section, Bonus Cash Section, and of course the secure Auto Upgrade section.

7% for 21 Days brings you in a nice 147% ROI in just 3 weeks. Ontop of this, members can earn 5% in our referral program, this is another good way to increase the members earnings, remember the referral program also works in Grams. If someone you bring to the site spends 3 Grams (12 Units) you will recieve 0.15 Grams.

Members can cashout out twice per month, whatever amount they are showing in their balance. We do not charge any fee;s for this, however payments can take upto 7 days to appear in your E-Gold Account. The whole Surf Industry is going through a rough time, and WE need to enure that everyone pulls together and works hard to bring back those good old days. This will take alot of work and effort by us all, I will run this program well, and all I ask from you the members is your support.

There is no guarantee that you will make money. While we believe that our system will make money for those who actively participate, it is possible that you will not make any money under certain circumstances. The earning rate and referral rates may change from time to time. The money we pay out is earned from sales of ‘Ad Unit’s;, site and email advertising, additional traffic credits, and other revenue producing activities we may undertake.

Aut0Surf.com is hosted on a shared server at the moment, based at Go-Mama-Hosting, which is a very well know hosting comapny who caters for the Surf/PTR industry. After speaking with the staff and listening to their comments I have decided to host on a shared server and will increase to a dedicated server with the same host as time sees fit. If any script issues arise and I am unable to correct, Go-Mama’s sister company Scripts-R-Us provide a fantastic script support guy called Kevin who will step in and help me out.

My name is Scott, and I am your admin of Aut0Surf.com. I am aware its not going to be easy and we may encounter some minor problems, remember this script has been trolled through line by line and changes have been made. Over the last few years I have been a very active member in the PTR/PTC world and have crossed into HYIP’s/Surfs over the last 12 months.

So welcome to Aut0Surf and lets have a good time and enjoy the real benifits of what these Surf programs are meant to achieve.”

So, their introductory spiel is a fairly personable one, with some unique flashes. The fact he emphasizes the 7-day period gives me hope as well, as 12DP and now 12by12 as well as many other surfs realize this is the way to go for longevity versus the super-quick payouts which result in a very early critical mass and make it a lot harder for the average Joe to play.

Anyway, Aut0Surf.

I’m sure we’ll see people popping up with strategies of when to cashout to maximise gold performance any minute now… (wait, it’s already happening!)

You know, check it out. It’s putting along nicely and is only a week old. At least it’s better than FerrarySurf. Seriously, how lame is that? They wanted to rip off FerrariSurf, couldn’t they just grab another car and spell it CORRECTLY. Ferrary just looks stupid. What about PorscheSurf or LamboSurf or something.

Wait - what was I talking about again? :)
